The report of the independent investigation of pedophilia and Jerry Sandusky, and the contributions to the scandal and abuse by the University, including Joe Paterno, was made public this morning.
I say suspend the University from all NCAA sports for a decade. Substantially fine the University. Prosecute the administrators who helped to make the abuse possible, or covered it up. Take-down the statue of Joe Paterno and reduce his $500,000+ pension paid to his wife.

Sports scholarships are the very backbone for all of this chit! When you elevate these teams to hero status, you set in motion the greed and ethics abuse that eventually comes home to roost like this.
The very idea that advanced education should be linked to finding guys who are good at running a ball down a field, is oxymoronic at best and downright stupid at worst.

If the NCAA could terminate the Southern Methodist University football program for paying players, it should terminate the Penn State football program for pedophilia and child rape.
I agree with all of your suggestions - in addition to the administrators, I think Dottie Sandusky should be prosecuted as an accessory to her husband's crimes.
i am astounded by the exclusive nature of pedaphile trials. its always a white guy with money.
despite the avalanche of cases involving women and minorities, its archie bunker always they go after.

When the Archie Bunkers of the world stop molesting and raping young boys for decades while leaders of a major university cover up for them, maybe they will stop getting attention.
I don't see why you'd have to destroy the entire athletics program for the actions of a few very, very evil people. You'd be screwing over a whole lot of hardworking students.
Anyway, I laugh at everybody who defended Paterno like he was just a poor saintly old man caught up in a nasty little kerfuffle about pedophilia. Horse hockey, he was complicit in covering this thing up. Every single person who did NOTHING despite KNOWING what was going on deserves everything that happens to 'em from now till death.
Meanwhile, in other news, R Kelly is still hailed as a hero by the entertainment media..... despite raping young girls as well as other Liberal heros like Woody Allen
Congrats media on selectively choosing who to destroy
Paterno will still be a hero to most people in spite of the criminal media attempts to destroy him
Sandusky is the criminal here as well as Spanier, not Paterno
If you really care about the well-being of children, your own, or others then you owe it to yourself to learn the truth about pedophiles, molesters, and other perverts. The truth is that 80% of all sexual acts directed at children are perpetrated by a family member, relative, or close friend of the family.
While most folk are making a fuss over Sandusky your own uncle Harvey, grandpa Smitty, aunt Mary, cousin Fred, sister Sue, friendly guy who is always there to help out is abusing your children. That is not to say that abuse occurs in all families but that when abuse does occur there is an 80% probability that it was committed my a close relative or friend.

Enter Republican, exit all reasonable discussion. Woody Allen is still married to the person he was accused of abusing despite being hammered by the media for years. R Kelly had sex with an underage but willing girl, but he was also hammered by the media and his career was stunted.
"Selectively choosing to destroy" Joe Paterno who actively covered-up the life-destroying abuses of a staffer? Shame on the media... they also had unkind things to say about Jeffrey Dahmer. Only an A-hole would still see Paterno as heroic.
